We’re excited to kick off a fun Reading Challenge for the 3rd grade at Wheelock. As well as being fun, the challenge aims to boost children’s literacy skills by encouraging students to read widely for pleasure and learning, develop their imagination and cultivate a passion for literature. The Read Across America Readathon, our 3rd grade challenge, will start 4/1 and end 5/1. For every 1 minute students read, they will earn 1 mile on the Reading Across America racecourse.Students will receive an information packet in the next few weeks.
